TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Nick McClure

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and allow you to dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. With the help of this book, you will work with recipes for training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and more. You will explore RNNs, CNNs, GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule networks, each using Google's machine learning library, TensorFlow. Through real-world examples, you will get hands-on experience with linear regression techniques with TensorFlow. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, you will be shown how to take it to production. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in the field of machine intelligence using TensorFlow. You will also have good insight into deep learning and be capable of implementing machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios.

Implementing a simple CNN

In this recipe, we will develop a four-layer convolutional neural network to improve upon our accuracy in predicting MNIST digits. The first two convolution layers will each be composed of convolution-ReLU-Max Pool operations, and the final two layers will be fully connected layers.

Getting ready

To access the MNIST data, TensorFlow has an examples.tutorials package that has great dataset-loading functionalities. After we load the data, we will set up our model variables, create the model, train the model in batches, and then visualize loss, accuracy, and some sample digits.
